WPW’s Comprehensive Guide to the Gear of the College World Series (Part 1)

This weekend we’ll take a look at the College World Series through the WPW lens.  Today, part 1 (because I’m up in Tahoe and we’re getting on a boat).  All photos are from College Baseball Daily, which has done a bang-up job of recapping the tournament in photos and words.

indiana adidas gear

Indiana catcher Kyle Schwarber wearing a rarely seen set of adidas catcher’s gear, unavailable online in his design but there are alternatives.

indiana demarini

Indiana infielder/catcher Chad Clark with a nice set of the adidas Excelsior Pro batting gloves, available online.

indiana wilsons

Pants up with the adidas Excelsior Pro cleats is a nice look.  You have to hunt for red online, but the model is available in more standard colors.

louisville exo

A few Louisville guys were wearing these Louisville Slugger batting gloves, which we’ve never seen before and couldn’t find anything on.  If anybody has any info or closer looks at these e-mail me at mike@www.whatproswear.com and you can achieve WPW immortality in an updated post.

louisville gear

Not the best shot of Louisville catcher Kyle Gibson’s hand skills, but its a good look at his TPX Pulse gear, which is available online in some great colors.  If you didn’t know, we did an entire feature on Louisville’s gear.  Check that out here.

Here’s another shot of those Louisville batting gloves, on Louisville OFer Coco Johnson.  Also see the Evoshield compression sleeve and Louisville Slugger Boar Exogrid 3 bat.

Posted this one for no other reason than that mohawk on Mike White.  Wow.

Mississippi State is one of the Easton teams debuting the Mako, a bat Easton has been pushing hard on social media.  No word on a release date, but we can expect more details as the summer rolls on.  Also check the Evoshield Camo Series leg guard.

  3. Just realized this is last year, feel so stupid

  4. My school gave us reebok catcher’s gear, and Schwarber appears to be wearing the same set rebranded as adidas. Shoppach wore the same thing here:
